Chapter 708 [Mid-Autumn Festival, collecting the net to get people] six
At the same moment when Zhu Yulao was full of joy, Zhu Cilang was full of depression, and Mu Linfeng was full of thoughts, not far away, a group of people were chasing a man with shabby clothes, a face covered with dirt, disheveled hair, and a face full of panic and helplessness. This man was not
The other person is none other than tonight's leading actor Zhou Shixian.
Mu Linfeng had been paying close attention to Zhou Shixian's movements, so he saw the movement ahead. Naturally, he couldn't let Zhou Shixian see him, otherwise wouldn't the trap he set up be exposed in person?
Mu Linfeng deliberately slowed down his pace at this time, followed Zhu Yuluo and Zhu Cilang, patted Kong Wu on the shoulder, and whispered: "Ji Kun's side has already started, we should also prepare here.
It's not convenient for me to show up at the meeting, everything depends on how you perform, Brother Kong!"
Kong Wu's expression was a little strange. In fact, he didn't bother to do these things at all, but fortunately Mu Linfeng promised him that Zhong Bin would take over from him after this matter. He nodded slightly and said nothing.
At this moment, the people in front let out a cry of surprise, and dozens of strong men were chasing a man running towards them. Kong Wu immediately blocked Zhu Yuluo and Zhu Cilang in front of them as a protective gesture, and secretly protected them from the side.
The personal soldiers and imperial guards also increased their vigilance.
When Zhu Cilang saw this, he cursed: "Who is so bold as to beat someone in the street?"
Zhu Yuluo and the personal maid looked a little panicked and hid behind Kong Wu. At this time, Mu Linfeng was already sitting on the second floor of the teahouse on the side, sitting across from Ji Kun and talking.
Mu Linfeng looked at the scene downstairs and asked Ji Kun in a low voice: "Are these people clean?"
Ji Kun immediately smiled at Mu Linfeng and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, these people were all found in Nantong under random names, and there is no way to find out any details in Nanjing City!"
Mu Linfeng nodded when he heard this and looked downstairs intently. This was a big show that he spent nearly one million taels of silver to direct. If it wasn't worth the investment and ticket price, wouldn't it be a huge loss?
At this time, the group of people downstairs had already caught up with Zhou Shixian and surrounded him in the formation. One of them, a man with a sinister face, shouted at Zhou Shixian: "Master Zhou, why are you running away? We are not trying to kill you, we are just
Just asking for money..."
Zhou Shixian looked at everyone with panic on his face, panting heavily and speechless for a moment. He put his hands on his knees and squatted for a long time. Then he stood up straight and said to the person: "I really have no money.
If I had money, why would I bother gambling?"
The strong man with a sinister face sneered: "Mr. Zhou, it is natural to pay back debts. Even if you don't have the money to pay, at least come back with us. You can go and explain to our boss. The younger ones also have to explain, right?"
"
Seeing that the strong man's tone was a bit humble, Zhou Shixian immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "That kid Ji Kun never let me pay him back when he first borrowed money. Why do you insist on staring at him this time?"
The brawny man sneered: "Sir, do you think our boss is a charity or something? To say that my boss only let you borrow some money because of Mr. Long's face, to be honest, our boss is just trying to make it bigger.
Those who buy and sell will not care about the eighteen thousand, even if you really don’t pay it back
Well, my boss can just treat him as a filial piety to Mr. Long, but look at how much you borrowed, old man, there is still a round number of two thousand five hundred taels. One million taels is not a small amount, my boss is also a businessman.
Man, no matter what, you have to give an account for this money..."
Zhu Yuluo, who was hiding behind Kong Wu, always felt that the voice of Mr. Zhou who owed money in front of her was a bit familiar. She quickly pulled the maid Xiao Cui beside her and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Cui, go and see if this Mr. Zhou is...
…”
Xiaocui understood immediately after hearing the words, walked to one side and stared at Zhou Shixian for a long time. Then her face changed slightly, and she immediately returned to Zhu Yurao and whispered: "Princess, he is really..."
Zhu Yulao's face changed slightly, and then she turned sideways and looked towards Zhou Shixian, but she seemed to have ulterior motives. Zhou Shixian said before that he had been doing business since he fled from Beijing and came to Nanjing, but he was deceived by his partner in a place he was not familiar with.
He had lost the capital, so he asked Xiao Cui to help him secretly again and again.
But the conversation between the strong man and Zhou Shixian just now made it clear that Zhou Shixian owed a gambling debt, and now looking at Zhou Shixian's appearance, he looked like a gambler.
Could it be that the money Cui financed him was all his gambling capital?
At this time, Zhou Shixian saw more and more people watching around him. His heart moved and he immediately sat on the ground. Then he said to the strong man: "I don't have any money, but I do have a life. If you think my life is worth a
One million taels, just take it and explain it to Boss Ji..."
When the strong man saw that Zhou Shixian, a scholar, was pretending to be arrogant, he immediately sneered and said to Zhou Shixian: "Master Zhou, I think you have misunderstood. What is the use of our taking your life? Besides, you owe me more."
It's not my money, we are just one
As part-time workers, you don’t have to get into lawsuits over money that didn’t go into your own pockets. We just want you to go back and explain to our boss how to solve the problem. That’s a matter between you and our boss. You don’t have to embarrass us little ones.
!”
At this time, the onlookers all felt strange. They had never seen anyone like this strong man who had been asking for debts since ancient times. They had always captured him directly, or taken him back after being beaten violently. To deal with debtors like this strong man
This is the first time I've seen people being reasonable.
The people who were watching were just watching the fun, and at most they were a little worried about Zhou Shixian. They thought that even if he was not beaten to death in the street today, he would probably be dead if he was taken back alive and couldn't pay back the money. But now, looking at it, they can't help but feel
Zhou Shixian was wrong about this matter.
The crowd who originally had some sympathy for Zhou Shixian began to point out one after another. After all, Zhou Shixian owed nearly one million taels of silver, which was definitely not a small amount. Since he had no money, why did he sink himself and gamble?
At this time, Zhu Cilang had long forgotten about the fact that people did not mention him, but only mentioned his sister Zhu Yuluo. The lively scene in front of him was something that he would never see in the dull and silent palace in his life. Now it is impossible to see it.
He opened his eyes wide and watched with a smile on his face how this would develop.
In fact, it was not that Zhu Cilang had forgotten his previous unhappiness, it was just that he suddenly discovered that the matter in front of him could change his previous embarrassment. When the matter in front of him developed to the point where it could not be solved, he would show up again to fight the injustice, and at the appropriate time
At the right time, he "unintentionally" revealed that he was the current emperor. At that time, when the people saw that the current emperor appeared in the market, they did not take action and solved an incident of bullies bullying the civilians.
Zhu Cilang's wishful thinking made a sound, but at this moment he also found that the gambler now looked like a rogue, but those strong men who collected debts were more worthy of sympathy, and he couldn't help but secretly cursed: "How can I take action like this?
Could it be that you ask me to help collect the debt?"
At this time, on the second floor of the teahouse on one side, Mu Linfeng had a panoramic view of the situation downstairs. When he saw this, he turned to Ji Kun and said with a smile: "Boss Ji, it will be your turn to appear in a moment!"
